Sorry for butting in on this post. I’m a 31M who spent his first 28 years of life deeply covert and ashamed, feeling so isolated, and until recently I had no idea how much harder it can be for someone...

Just Diagnosed with Psychogenic Stuttering

Just Diagnosed with Psychogenic Stuttering I'm 31 and have been struggling with speech dysfluencies for the better part of a decade. I had a speech evaluation today, and they said I have a psychogeni...

“Another way of talking” is something I cannot and will not ever agree with. I usually think this is the opinion of people who think they are stuck with it and have no say on it so it makes them feel ...

I respectfully don't agree with some of your points. Many people have been cured, and many people obviously haven't, so clear it is down to the individual. Maybe other factors are involved, like the p...

You really shouldn’t find it distasteful or look down upon those who are justifying and accepting stuttering. There is not a “cure” for this and there won’t be until they can actually figure out the ...

There are 5 slides, don't miss them! I also apologize about the weird pie chart arrangement, Google Forms is weird. **Some thoughts of interest based on the results:** We got 90 responses to the sur...

For a long time, stuttering was defined as a disorder with the vocal folds!! Until we learned that it has a neurological basis. This is really interesting, thanks for sharing your story. Do you feel l...

The answer is “it depends” because each person stuttering pattern is unique and tied to their brain. What works for some people doesn’t work for others, because stuttering is not some flu or infectio...

I actually have spasmodic dysphonia (aka laryngeal dystonia), and for the longest time I believed I had a stutter. But after going to stutter support groups I realized I didn't sound anything like tha...

Thanks buddy. I gave it a quick read since I am on a hurry but these two catch my eye: ***Approximately 50% of individuals who stutter report at least 1 additional relative who stutters, as estimated...

I found this for you. It explains there is a difference between stuttering and other dysfluencies. I hope this helps. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/s/jyG7dGMG1z...

Could it be that you're too afraid you would stutter? Slurring is a whole different thing. In society, oral communication is so valued that any diversion from the norm is noticed. It's not uncommon ...

This is my attempt to extract important information from the video: * disfluencies and stuttering-like disfluencies are completely different * as a parent, make space for the child to talk. Because s...

There´s a book called speech is a river that make´s this same question. The woman asked an older man on a elevator; ¿Do you struggle to talk? ¿Does it take your conscious effort? For me it does. At...

I cannot believe how many people have this mindset in this subreddit. As a person with a severe stutter who has met people with milder stutters, a stutter is a stutter. No matter its severity, we al...

same. The idea that stuttering is psychological is myth. There's a "stuttering" that people who don't have a speech disorder do when nervous or in distress (they just fumble their words and do slight ...

same. And the idea that stuttering is psychological is myth. There's a "stuttering" that people who don't have a speech disorder do when nervous or in distress and there's actual stuttering where you ...

A mild stutterer will never trully understand a severe stutterer. Being positive is the easiest thing in the world if your stutter is not extremely severe. How do I know? I have experienced all the s...

Just because there are strengths associated with diagnostic criteria doesn’t mean it’s a product of evolution. There’s a huge crossover between PTSD and ADHD. And, anxiety over a tiger killing your ki...

I tend to agree that the benefit of stuttering is not clear from an evolutionary perspective but some other psychiatric “disorders” such as ADHD do have a clear evolutionary benefit. People with ADH...
